  • If the CV joints look clean (no dirt got in) you may want to try repacking in place and use one of these split boots that you glue around the axle
  • If you decide to place and tackle this yourself, make sure that the mounting bolts are free of any grease, etc. If you get grease on the bolt threads you run the risk of them backing out
And you should torque them to spec after putting a dab of medium strength Loctite on them..............

Yep - just go to the Pelican Parts 911 forum and search this up - you will be surprised by how many people talk about driving down the road and a CV becoming disconnected.
